Description:
This seminar program, outlined below, was designed to serve as an introduction to petroleum refining processing. The seminar focuses on the core refining processes of fluid catalytic cracking, alkylation, hydrotreating, hydrocracking, and catalytic reforming, although all major processes are covered in detail. The speakers will discuss feedstock properties, process chemistry, process variables, operating conditions, unit configuration, and refinery products. The interaction between yields, operating variables, and product variables will also be covered. In addition, the basic economics associated with petroleum refining and the impact of recent environmental regulations will be discussed. These program sessions will be presented by petroleum industry professionals who have extensive experience in all of the major processing areas in petroleum refining. |
